Chapter By Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.
So where were we? Carnage basically has the virus from The Last Of Us (I think that line would work better if I actually played the game or saw the cinematics but I think it’s about people turning violent without becoming zombies), Aunt May is about to lose the house, and Mary Jane is feeling useless during her unemployment. I can relate to at least one of these. We’re almost two-thirds into this book so let’s see what kind of wacky hi-jinks Petey gets into this time.

Because someone was using the volleyball.
Now we know what Max has been up to. I’ve never understood the idea that a little boy torments a little girl because he secretly likes her (or occasionally the other way around). Aren’t you just trying to make an abusive relationship sound cute?
Over at The Clutter Reports I’ll have to introduce you to the new BW computer next week. If you’re wondering how I was able to get it, even though it’s not a very expensive computer, it was courtesy of the stimulus package, money I really need right now given my current financial status, which has been a bit longer than most due to being out of work long before the villain bug showed up. Otherwise my dad would have ended up buying it or my tech friend would have and I’m not happy with either solution, but even cheap as this computer was (refurbished older computer) I have no further income right now so what I have left has to last until I find a source of income. I’d consider trying Patreon again but given the interaction I don’t get…by the way, welcome to the new subscribers I somehow picked up not being able to write stuff and hopefully I bring some good reviews and commentaries to get you through this mess and beyond…I’m not sure it would work. I’m still open to suggestions for rewards since early access is all I can think of at the moment.
Anyway, with the new computer (which my friend went over to make sure everything’s functioning properly and I will say it’s leagues better than the Vista desktop that went kaput on me) it’s going to take a few days to set it up and get all my important programs and files on here. The plan is to return on Thursday and it will work thusly: On Thursday I’ll review this week’s DC and Marvel comics, with the DC comic in the place of the daily quickie. I’ll do the same on Friday but with Star Trek: The Next Generation and Robotech II: The Sentinels. That leaves Scooby-Doo for Saturday in the usual spot, but no comiXology library review. Meanwhile, chapter 14 of Spider-Man: Carnage In New York will come up on Thursday for Chapter By Chapter and I have a commentary in mind for Friday based on a conversation I had recently on Twitter. Then it’s the old Saturday Night Showcase and returning to the regular schedule next week. Have a good week, folks!

Well, it’s official. The old Vista computer is kaputski. The hard drive died but most annoyingly it’s so kaput that I can’t even get any data off of it. My computer expert friend is looking for a budget Windows 10 computer not only for my image work but the video editing, which takes more image and processing power. I tried doing this article on the XP laptop but I could write a whole sentence and wait almost a minute foo back and deal with the typos and start all over again, as well as type in the words the computer somehow missed. This is not an option.
The type of computer my friend is looking at will require a little reorganizing of the computer desk workspace plus time to put all of my productivity software in and set everything up. So I probably won’t be updating for a while. I’ll try to do something if I can use my dad’s computer downstairs to have content during the quarantine and I’ll report when the new comp is up and running. Otherwise I’ll be silent for a while but still around to keep an eye on things.See you soon.
